Reggie Bush could join his first pro team as early as Sunday.
Team sources told FOXSports.com that Bush and the New Orleans Saints agreed in principle on a 6-year deal that is sandwiched between Vince Young's contract at No. 3 and Mario Williams' at No. 1.
"This deal should be done as early as tomorrow," the source said.
When asked if there was anything that could hold up the deal, one team source said, "There shouldn't be anything. But you never know. All that's really left is for some language to be cleaned up in the deal."
The Titans' Young received $25.74 million in guarantees, while the No. 1 pick Williams of the Houston Texans was awarded $26.5 million in bonuses.
Bush was the second player chosen in the NFL draft and has missed the first two days of training camp practices.
The wide receiver out of Southern California won the Heisman Trophy after a sensational season in which the Trojans repeated as Pac-10 champions and advanced to the national title game.
To say the Saints are excited is an understatement. The night before the draft coach Sean Payton said he was working on a new offensive playbook to include Bush in a backfield with Deuce McAllister.
================================================== ======
I wonder how many will draft Reggie in the 2nd or 3rd rounds for Fantasy FB?
